Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Abubakar, has disclosed that the report of investigation into the killing of 49 policemen in Nasarawa State, would be made public at the appropriate time and that the police was working hard towards ensuring that justice is done regarding the incident.
Abubakar made this known on Monday in Abuja, shortly after the inauguration of 12 patrol vehicles for the Abuja-Kaduna Highway.
It would be recalled that 49 police personnel and 10 operatives of the State Security Service ,SSS, were brutally murdered while on a foiled operation at Alakyo Village in Nasawara State, on May 7.
They were alleged to have been attacked by members of the Ombatse cult from the ancestral shrine of the Eggon speaking people of Nasarawa State.
Speaking, Abubakar vowed that nobody or group of persons operating under any name would kill officers of the Force and go “scot-free”.
“Investigation is ongoing and the outcome of the investigation will be revealed to Nigerians at the most appropriate time.
“We cannot keep quiet to allow anybody in this country, whether individual or group of persons, under whatever canopy they call themselves, to kill officers of the police and go scot-free.
“There has never been speculation, we have always given the number out, that we lost 49 police officers, ’’ he said.
On the closure of Wonderland Amusement Park and Amigo Supermarket in Abuja, after the co-owner was fingered as head of a terrorist group, the I-G said the closure was part of measures to secure the nation.
“There is nothing new; security is security. You know what is happening in the country.
“We will go ahead to take any measure that deserves to be taken to ensure that Nigeria is safe and Nigerians are given safe and secured environment.
“We shall do everything humanly possible beyond reasoning to ensure that Nigeria is safe and our people are safe and secured, no matter what it takes,’’ he assured.
